In 2025, HIV/AIDS is still a big taboo in Africa. In my country, I had discussions with my relatives to know their opinion on the subject...
Puedo decir que ya no siento el mismo odio que sentía por mi amiga, pero sigo teniendo ese trauma de antes, y cuando recuerdo aquellos tiempos, lloro.
I no longer have the hatred I used to have for my friend, but I still have that trauma from before, and when I think back to that time, I cry.
HIV was transmitted to me by my mother at birth. I cannot explain to you how my transmission took place because I myself have no idea.
El VIH me lo transmitió mi madre al nacer. No puedo explicarles cómo ocurrió mi transmisión porque ni yo misma tengo idea.
The stigma is real, but over time I've learned to love myself, I've started to seek out communities of people living with HIV and I've been relieved to know that I'm no longer alone.
